We hired the Sidewalk Crusaders for my parents 40th wedding anniversary and this band made it more than special. Great rapport with
My family and a fabulous performance that had my whole family in tears (happy tears), even got my Dad going, who is generally a stoic man, a man of few words. We all had a great time that day and the passion and level of emotion you brought to our family living room was fabulous. They were incredible and would recommend them for anything as they have such a variety.

After seeing the Sidewalk Crusaders during one of of our first dates, and then seeing them around the neighbourhood we really enjoyed getting to know Peter and the group. So it seemed only right to have them perform for the cocktail hour during our wedding. They were the perfect addition, the music was amazing and our friends and family loved them.
So much so, that another friend is going to have them perform at his wedding!

After seeing The Sidewalk Crusaders perform on the streets of Toronto a few times, we decided that they would be the perfect addition for our wedding. They were a crowd favorite and Peter's energy while on the sax was incredible. We highly recommend them for any event. Thank you again for being a part of our special day.

We worked with Sidewalk Crusaders to help us launch an incredible and dynamic community activation on Bloor St in Toronto and was amazing to draw the crowds at TEDxToronto activation and get them involved.
It was wonderful to work with the crew and team.
We also commissioned the band to activate our Laneway Launch party. It was such an incredible experience and the band was able to really engage the audience from their style of music - very engaging and ubpeat, which was the vibrancy we were seeking for our event. Very professional and was great to work with our event needs/goals!
Would be happy to recommend the band for future events!

I hired The Sidewalk Crusaders last minute for a birthday party, and they were fantastic! They completely delivered everything I wanted. They perform extremely well, and are so easy to work with. They brought so much energy to the performance, with members performing solos throughout the set, and adding fun choreography. They are truly a polished, professional band, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to work with a team of exceptional musicians.
